They are coming.

(Episode 2)

Wake up.

What am I going to do? Wake up.

What will I do?

Are you the daughter of the Minister of Finance?

My goodness.

What do we do now?

Young lady.

Young lady, are you all right?

Yeom Bok. You do know that my sharp eyes make my living, right?

I know that guy.

He is the second son of Chancellor Wang.

Which one?

Who are they?

They are...

They are what?

Young lady, are you all right? Young lady.

Wait, were they on the same side?

Take her immediately.

The young lady of this household is hurt badly. She needs a doctor.

San. San. San.

While we were hiking,

we saw your carriage get attacked by bandits.

I could not save your wife because I got there too late.

Goodness, young lady.

My goodness.

I am Wang Jeon. We met before. Do you remember me?

Mother...

Mother...

Her daughter is alive.

She is hurt, but only she and her maid survived the attack.

Is she hurt badly?

I will look into it and find out more...

Can she talk?

I must tell her her mother's last words.

You should return to the palace now.

I did not...

listen to your advice just because I wanted to see...

something interesting.

It is late.

You wanted to call the guards and tell the Minister of Finance.

Had I listened to you,

his wife would not be dead.

- Your Highness. - His daughter would not be hurt.

All of the people there...

would not...

have had to die.

I must tell her her mother's last words.

I will tell her, so...

I will do it.

That is the least...

I can do.

I insisted on going somewhere, so Mother split the guards...

to protect me.

So she did not have many guards with her.

How can any thieves...

in Goryeo dare to attack my family?

Did you investigate the crime scene?

When the second son of the chancellor arrived,

he said all of our party were dead already.

We had 10 private guards and 4 palanquin bearers.

- Did any of the thieves survive? - None.

It looks like Wang Jeon's party killed them all.

It looked like there were over 20 thieves.

How can mere 20 thieves kill off 10 of our private guards?

They were not thieves.

I offered them money, but they would not even listen.

They were fixed on killing us.

Why would thieves turn down money?

San.

Did you say Wang Jeon thinks Yeon is you?

Yes, she was wearing my robe.

Did the thieves...

try to kill Yeon, who was wearing your robe?

No.

They tried to kill me, but Yeon got hurt because she protected me.

I see.

In that case, let us keep it that way for a while.

From now on, the one who got hurt is not Yeon, the maid.

The one who got hurt is you, San.

- Hyeong. - Yes.

Keep everyone's mouth shut in this household, and start a rumor.

"Our young lady's face is seriously damaged."

"At this rate, she will stay home forever."

"She will never be able to show her bare face to the world."

Yes, master.

You must...

- leave this house for a while. - Why?

Until when?

If someone did this using those thieves as a cover,

I need to know who and why they did this.

What about Mother?

From now on,

she is not your mother. You must call her, "my lady".

Is that the case with you too?

Do not call me your father.

That is the way you...

and our family will live.

San.

Stay here. I will go and take a look.

Who are you?

First, hear me out.

Did one of the thieves follow me to my house?

There is a reason why I could not come through the gate.

Why? Do you still have something to pry into?

I came here because I must tell you something.

- Over here. - I brought her will.

The lady of this house who was murdered...

told me to tell her daughter this.

I was there in the mountains today.

I met her right before her death, and she asked me to pass this on...

to her daughter...

Who are you?

What on earth were you doing there? Why?

You must be her maid.

- The maid who survived. - Tell me.

What were you doing there?

I was hiding...

because I was scared.

That is why I could not help her.

Can the young lady talk right now?

Then can you tell her the lady's will...

on my behalf?

This is what the lady said.

"Do not hate anyone."

"Smile and prance as you always have."

"That is my wish."

This is it. Can you memorize that?

"Do not..."

"hate anyone."

"Smile and prance..."

- "As you..." - "as you..."

"always have."

Did you see her too?

Was she...

in a lot of pain?

No.

That is a relief.

Do not cry.

I am truly sorry.

I was a coward, and I was only concerned about myself.

We met before.

I know you.

Right.

I know you too.

You must.

If I remember a girl like you,

of course you must remember...

I have seen so many men like you. I know your kind.

Did you stand there and smile?

What? Of course not.

Although that was very funny...

Here.

Hey. Hey.

Did you just watch your Crown Prince get knocked down?

I should change my bodyguards.

"Do not show yourselves unless I call for you."

- That was your very strict command. - That was...

until someone grabs my collar.

If the Crown Prince is on the ground,

they should have...

Over there.

Are you Master Lee?

(Lee Seung Hyu)

The fool must say his name first.

- "The fool"? - Is what he said.

I am Han Chun from Pine Valley.

This is my friend Soo In.

You have no manners and a name I have not heard of.

Why you...

Is what he said.

We came from far away because my friend...

wished to ask you something.

Master Lee lectures for the mass on the 15th of every month.

Does a great scholar like you...

not have ears to listen or a mouth to speak with?

Is your monthly lecture...

given in proxy by this brat here?

Not only are you ill-mannered, but you are immature too.

Is what he said?

- Is what I said. - Gosh.

Is there no way?

There is one way.

Tell us what that is.

He sometimes answers the question...

of whoever manages to pass his test.

- His test? - His test?

What must we do?

How about field hockey?

Do you like that?

Field hockey, it is.

The first team to score five wins.

Sure.

Tell me what the rules are.

Have you never played?

I saw you play just now.

You score 1 while I score 5.

That is nonsense.

A man and woman...

We shall do that.

If he scores 1 before you score 5,

we shall say he wins.

Do not regret this later on.

Red, one point!

- Yes! - Hooray!

- Why? - You cannot hit another player.

I get a point.

If you ask nicely, I can say it was practice up to this point.

Practice?

- No? - I have never asked a woman...

for a favor.

Red, two points!

Three points!

Red, four points!

Do you want to win that badly?

A cheap and conniving opponent like you must be beaten.

That is rich coming from someone cheap and conniving.

Oh no.

Pass the ball.

My precious seolloju.

That was almost a goal.

It was so close. Was anybody hurt?

What is that wine anyway?

My master's old friend sends just 12 jars a year.

In case he cannot control himself,

he keeps them out of arm's reach,

and lets us get him just one jar a month.

He has a shot with breakfast...

and a shot on a day like this when he is entertained.

He never wants to waste a drop.

Then we can get him that wine.

How can you do that?

That is my secret.

Give me a few days.

I will get you 24 jars of that wine if you want.

So Hwa.

Yes, master.

I have nothing to drink with my breakfast tomorrow.

Will munbaeju not suffice?

You are banned from the next hockey match.

No, master.

Yes.

That will make me feel better.

I will bring it to you.

By tomorrow morning?

Yes.

- And my question? - Shall be answered.

I will get it.

I will bring you the wine by breakfast.

Then can I play?

Yes, you can.

Seolloju?

If it is precious, there should be some in the palace.

Even if there is, it is a two-day, round trip.

You will be late for breakfast.

Then there is only one way.

- You cannot go. - Come on.

- Then... - Yes.

That is mean.

It is stated in The Art of War.

If your supply is running low,

commandeer the enemy's.

Give up. There must be another way.

I went there once before.

You were accompanied by others then.

Only the older scholars can go.

Ginseng diggers are there all the time.

Even the diggers just look up at where you are going.

Forget it.

The rest of you can stay and practice.

If we lose again,

we all deserve to kill ourselves together. Okay?

That good-for-nothing jerk.

Is this not strange?

It is.

- Is she not going for wine? - She is.

Why would there be wine up in a mountain like this?

I wonder.

Shall we head to the palace instead?

- If we ride like the wind... - It will be fine.

She is gone.

I lost her.

- Be careful. - Okay.

Where are you going?

That is none of your business.

I see.

What?

Go on your way.

Okay.

How much?

Lead me to where the wine is.

I will give you all you want.

- Is it your money? - What?

The money you are offering. Is it money you earned?

I am ashamed to see a son brag with his father's money.

You should not do that.

Is the wine up a mountain?

It is not for the faint-hearted.

Only one of our well-trained elders makes the trip.

It is wrong for a man...

to let a woman go on such a treacherous trail alone.

What do you think, Soo In?

We trained and exercised since we were young.

We will not slow you down.

I think you will.

I heard you never made the trip alone.

We can accompany you.

Who? He?

I.

- Hey. - So what?

What if we get to the wine together?

Give us just one cup.

Can I not persuade you into doing that much?

Wait.

Hey, you two.

If that is what you say.

Hurry up.

Okay.

Is he going to climb that mountain?

- He already is. - Should we not stop him?

Would he listen?

What do you think our masters did?

I am realizing the hard way why they left us the position of...

the Crown Prince's bodyguard so soon.

Indeed.

My goodness.

Let us go.

- No. - Wait.

Is there another way?

There is. Go back the way we came, and you will see a wide road.

Follow that road back to your home. I have to go.

Wait.

I will lead the way.

I will lead, and you will come second.

Soo In, watch our backs.

Hey!

Hey, stop it.

Do as you are told. I will lead, you come second.

You can listen to me.

I lead the way, and you follow.

- I will lead. - Let go of me.

Let go.

I will lead the way.

My bag. I had food in there.

I told you to be careful.

You threw my bag away!

- That was me? - Move!

That was your fault, not mine.

- You jerk. - Will you stop?

- You should have listened to me. - Goodness.

Shall we just run...

Or...

Or...

Maybe...

we can walk slowly across.

Run!

Run!

Yes.

This is the story of how I came to love you...

more than myself.
